Buescher remained president until 1919 when Beardsley assumed that title. In 1916 Buescher sold a major share of his company to six businessmen including Andrew Hubble Beardsley. In 1904 the business was reorganized and renamed the Buescher Band Instrument Company, reflecting its sole focus on producing band instruments. In 1903 there was a disastrous fire at Buescher's factory.

True Tone became the trademark name for band instruments made by the Buescher Manufacturing Company. In March 1901 he patented a cornet unusual in that the valves were of unequal lengths. In 1894 his company began production of saxophones, becoming Conn's main competitor over the following two decades. Collins, a clothing merchant, and Harry L. Main Street, which made band instruments and other metal products, in partnership with John L. In the fall of 1893 he opened the Buescher Manufacturing Company at 1119 N. In 1890, while still employed with Conn, he began producing band emblems at home and was setting up his own shop. Lefebre in 1888 he produced Conn's first saxophone prototype. After being shown an Adolph Sax model saxophone in possession of E.A. Conn's fledgling band instrument factory. He accompanied his family to Goshen, Indiana and then to Elkhart in 1875. Some of my favourite Alto Sax players are, Charlie Mariano, Maceo Parker, Canonball Adderley, Nathan Crosse and Steve Coleman, just to name a few.The company was founded by Ferdinand August "Gus" Buescher (born Elk Township, Noble County, Ohio 26 April 1861 died Elkhart, Indiana 29 November 1937).

Having many Alto's at my fingertips because I was dealing in saxophones,my "go-to" Alto was mostly always the Conn 6M ,and if I had one, the Conn 6M VIII model.(My tenor is a Conn 10M). I have played Alto Saxophone over the years ,loving this sized horn for Funk and Big-Band. I then studied at the Lismore Conservatorium and the Sourthern Cross University.At this time I switched to Tenor which became my main horn. After a couple of years, I knew I had to either give it up, or get into it seriously. After having a couple of lessons I started just blowing tunes that I knew, did a bunch of busking in Australia and Europe connecting with a few learner type bands and had some fun. When I made a few duck-like calls on his saxophone,he said I was a "natural".Go buy a horn he said, so I went to Melbourne and bought my first Alto Saxophone, a Conn 20M made in mexico. My first ever Saxophone was an Alto.After deciding to learn the saxophone when I was on a 9 month adventure traveling in the Indian sub-continent,I came back to Australia, found a piano player who taught some saxophone and i had a go on his horn.
